I don't know if Connecticut has such a law, but assuming they do then the risk would be about a long, drawn-out lawsuit regarding that.]]>White House email system?https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150303/04491030191/there-is-no-way-that-hillary-clinton-didnt-know-she-was-supposed-to-use-government-email-account.shtml#c308

I think the story is still relevant; it could possibly use an update saying that a fix is "in the works" but I'd hardly say a half-assed fix a week after release and only after modders did it without the developers counts as fixing the problem.]]>You only had ONE job...https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150303/08563830196/connecticut-town-takes-down-painting-including-image-mother-teresa-over-ip-challenges.shtml#c84

I have a hard time trusting humans to deal well with snow and ice. Within 10-15 years, if not less, robot cars will probably be much better at it than most of us are.]]>Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:https://www.techdirt.com/blog/netneutrality/articles/20150302/07565730182/nokia-ceo-we-have-to-get-rid-net-neutrality-otherwise-self-driving-cars-will-keep-crashing-into-each-other.shtml#c927

JUST go to court , hire a few lawyers,get paid billions,will sue each other for billions,the loser is small companys ,consumer, taxpayers ,

plus its a direct attack on democracy,

god forbid citizens or governments ,should be able to set their own rules on safety ,food regulation,corporation info whistleblowers .

Its like letting russia or china decide the laws on user data ,democracy,privacy,online user surveillance,data retention.

australia was sued to try and stop them changing the labels on cigarette packaging .

companys are just waiting for tpp to go into force before the start sueing us states ,or eu countrys ,for possible loss of profits .]]>Re: Re: Dealbreaker for mehttps://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150303/04491030191/there-is-no-way-that-hillary-clinton-didnt-know-she-was-supposed-to-use-government-email-account.shtml#c266

Really? How does him being a philanderer and her being OK with it set back women's rights? It isn't like she was financially dependent on the guy, she wasn't coerced into anything.

I think you are concern trolling. The parameters of their relationship are theirs to decide. You dictating what is appropriate for her to freely decide about her life sounds a lot more like misogyny to me.]]>Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:https://www.techdirt.com/blog/netneutrality/articles/20150302/07565730182/nokia-ceo-we-have-to-get-rid-net-neutrality-otherwise-self-driving-cars-will-keep-crashing-into-each-other.shtml#c909
